The Leaving Of Liverpool (Live Ver.)

The Dubliners
Album : The Dubliners - The Definitive Transatlantic Collection

Farewell to Princes` landing stage
River Mersey fare thee well
I am bound for California
a place I know right well
So fare thee well my own true love
When I return united we will be
It`s not the leaving of Liverpool that grieves me
But my darling when I think of thee
I have sailed with Burgess once before
I think I know him well
If a man`s a sailor he will get along
if not then he`s sure in hell
So fare thee well my own true love
When I return united we will be
It`s not the leaving of Liverpool that grieves me
But my darling when I think of thee
Farewell to Lower Frederick Street
Anson Terrace and Park Lane
I am bound away for to leave you
and I`ll never see you again
So fare thee well my own true love
When I return united we will be
It`s not the leaving of Liverpool that grieves me
But my darling when I think of thee
I am bound for California
by way of stormy Cape Horn
And I will write to thee a letter love
when I am homeward bound
So fare thee well my own true love
When I return united we will be
It`s not the leaving of Liverpool that grieves me
But my darling when I think of thee
I`ve shipped on a Yankee clipper ship
Davy Crockett is her name
And Burgess is the captain of her
and they say that she`s a floating hell
So fare thee well my own true love
When I return united we will be
It`s not the leaving of Liverpool that grieves me
But my darling when I think of thee
